Dandelion Fire by N.D. Wilson

Henry York, after learning that his adoptive parents are coming to get him, once again ventures into the magical cupboards to try and find where he came from. Meanwhile, his cousin Henrietta and the rest of the family end up scattered in different parts of the world from which Henry and his uncle came, fighting against an evil witch who is determined to take control of the world. This second installment of the series is once again full of the magic and adventure that characterized the first one. The first part of the book, while Henry is still in our world, drags a bit. But once he enters his world, the story picks up and is hard to put down. The story alternates between Henry, Henrietta, and the rest of the family and may be a bit confusing to readers who have not read the first book of the series. Though the satisfying ending feels like the end of the series, fans will be happy to know that there is still one more novel to come before the trilogy is complete.
